After another difficult loss Winnipeg Jets head coach rips his entire team
With the NHL Playoffs set to begin in approximately 3 weeks, teams are hoping to be at their very best. Unfortunately for the Winnipeg Jets that hasn't been the case. Since February 16th the Jets have struggled going 7-12-2.
The Jets have seen the playoffs hopes drop considerably during that time and now sit only 2 points up on the Calgary Flames for the final playoff spot. On Tuesday night the Jets dropped a 3-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks, a team who had previously lost 9 games in a row.
After the game Bowness didn't bite his tongue when he decided to let his team have it via the media.
Well, I'd say we created enough scoring chances. The offence gave us a chance to win the game, we just didn't score. Then, the inconsistencies with some of our players is hurting us. Some of these guys think they're giving us everything in their tank, they're dreaming. We have a lot of guys in there giving us everything they can. We just need a few more guys to jump on board. It's not over. We're still in eighth spot. We're going to find out what we're made of over the next little while.
When asked a follow up about how he can get through to those players Bowness put the onus onto his players.
How do you reach them? There comes a point when your personal pride has to take over. If someone has to go in there and point that out to them, then there is a big problem right there. As I said, we're going to find out what we're made of and we're going to find out what everyone in that room is made of over the next little while.
The Jets have been surrounded by controversy for years now, especially after multiple players have requested trades. Now it appears that everything is set to come to a head. After starting the season 29-14-1 the Jets have fallen to 41-31-3, if the Jets miss the playoffs its almost certain that heads will roll.
